- Description
- The Department of Defense (DoD) is seeking interest by commercial entities with the capability to satisfy requirements for the procurement of Cryogenic Cooled Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) Weapon Sights. The MWIR provides better resolution, contrast, and can be used on higher power scopes without degradation to the image/target. The device would be used on a sniper rifle with a capability to engage the enemy at +2,000 meters. MWIR is the only wavelength of light that can provide the resolution at these ranges. The MWIR is ideal in the ability to detect heat from an object of interest while being able to see through dust, fog, and atmospheric conditions. The MWIR system requires a cryogenic cooler in order to cool the system down to see in that wavelength. Respondents with interest, experience, and current capability to manufacture the above mentioned capabilities are encouraged to respond. This is not a request for competitive proposals, but parties interested in responding must furnish in writing, a 1-4 page (not including cover page, index, or list of references) synopsis of their capability to accomplish the described work effort. Companies responding to this notice must provide complete contact information (telephone, address, email address). The North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) for this notice is 333314. Respondents must identify their company's business size (based on the NAICS size standard), business status (i.e. large business, small business, disadvantaged, HUB zone, woman-owned, service-disabled, veteran-owned). Please also include information regarding any prior experience with U.S. Government contracts similar to the above mentioned capabilities. The Government will retain comments and information received in response to this notice. Proprietary information should be identified as Company Proprietary. Do not use Government Security Classification markings. Any information provided to the U.S. Government in response to this Sources Sought Notice (SSN) is for planning purposes only and will not be used as a selection consideration factor in any U.S. Government contract competition. Should the U.S. Government elect to pursue the subject requirement, an official Request for Proposal (RFP) will be released at a later date in accordance with FAR Part 5. This SSN allows qualified sources for this requirement to self-identify. Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. It is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for any information solicited. No solicitation document exists or is guaranteed to be issued as a result of this notice. All written responses must be received by 26 July 2018.
